My brother is a cop, and during one of the times I spoke with him, he as a detective, investigating fraud. I found it interesting, so I would occasionally ask him about his most recent arrests.

It shocked me to learn, most people committing fraud, or outright stealing from their employers made off with less than 10K. Some as little as 2k. Then they were caught, and served felony prison sentences.

I'd always thought, if you're facing felony charges for theft or fraud GO farkING BIG, NOTHING LESS THAN 5 MILLION SO YOU CAN DISAPPEAR AFTERWARDS.

Psst: businesses that deal in cash generally have change available. At the places I used to work, drawers typically started with $200. Granted, still not enough for an armed robbery, but a lot more $10.

I don't get it.

If your brother is ever investigating The Case of The Missing Commas, I think I know where he'll find them.

How many of these people have an opportunity to take so much money? We aren't all born with a stolen silver spoon.

I dunno. Someone once said that if you steal $600, you can just disappear. If you steal $600 million, they will find you, unless they think you're already dead.

It was hard to tell for sure. He had a German accent on top of a fake American accent on top of his native accent. Kind of a Victor-Victoria of linguistics.

I just watched that again this past weekend. It's aged phenomenally well.

Uh-oh, a Fark Headline with the word "pizza" in the headline. It's only a matter of time before the Fark Pizza Hipster Brigade shows up to say "Chain restaurant pizza is gross, I only eat pizza from a pizza place that's so obscure that even I haven't heard of it."

Beware of the false reasoning. You only know about the criminals who get caught and prosecuted. The banker that knowingly launders money and all the firm gets is a fine. The manager who has a cost-plus contract to clean, charges for three guys but only uses two. The contest management that charges a $20 entry fee for something thats really just a rouse. The fast food manager who hires "family" who are illegal aliens that pay him a kickback.

You know, the kinds of crimes too complicated to explain to an American jury.

If the thief ever had a retail job then he might have known that.

But then if he had a job he probably wouldn't be robbing pizza joints at 11am on a Tuesday.

I don't mind some chain pizza places (Donatos is good, I don't mind Pizza Hut) but we used to have a family owned place called Catalfinos that had a pizza called the Champion (it had over 20 awards) that was Italian sausage, beef, bacon, ham and pepperoni with ricotta and provolone cheese....it was amazing, but they are closed now.

Chain pizzas aren't much worse than any other fast food, but if there's a nearby family restaurant that makes their own dough and sauce and does it right, then that's the place that gets most of my business because their product just plain tastes better and I want them to stick around. There's a big difference between "Oh, I only eat weird and exotic foods because I believe that makes me seem more interesting somehow" versus "Don't be afraid to try new places, you might find something you really like."

I don't care what the hipsters or anti-hipsters say about my dinner preferences. The only opinion that holds any sway with me belongs to my taste buds.
